This Is Google's New Android Music App [VIDEO]

Video footage of the new version of the Google Android music app has leaked, revealing a revamped and colorful user interface.

First posted on XDA Developers and spotted by Engadget, the 50-second footage provides a demonstration of the new features of Android's default music app.

The updated app is much more easy on the eyes that its predecessor. The vibrant colors of the album covers captured our attention, while the elegant transitions and album stacking strike us as being more like the iPhone's iPod music player. It's more readable as well.

Our guess is that you'll see the new music application launch with Android 3.0, a.k.a. Honeycomb. The Android interface has long needed an upgrade to keep it competitive with the design of the iPhone UI. We've heard that Android 3.0 will bring much-needed graphical and usability updates to the OS. The leaked music app is likely a preview of what we can expect.
